U.C. Patio will get a'face lift’
with new plants, walks,benches

By RAMONA SANDERS
Editor

Starting next week jackhammers,
bags of cement and work crews will
arrive between Ellington and the
University Center as the Office of
Facilities and Planning begins the
first phase of a conversion project to
surround the U.C. patio with concrete
benches, plants and new walkways to
McCord and G-H.

According to Director of Facilities
and Planning Ed Neil White, the
conversion project, which was
originally conceived two years ago,
will use $7,500 in Parking Authority
Funds for the first phase which will
begin on the west side (G-H side) of the
patio next week.

“Our purpose is two-fold,” said
White. "We want to enhance the
utilization of the patio, which is now
just a paved surface,...and we want to
try to redirect pedestrian traffic to
walkways which won't be out of their
way.”

The area, which according to White

has been unsightly for several years
because of the well-worn dirt paths to
G-H and McCord, is an area which
when developed should allow easy
access by sidewalk to the dorms yet
also add a convenient leisure spot and
dining area for students.

“We’re expecting that students will
use the area on sunny days to eat lunch
which will reduce the numbers inside
the cafeteria. We're also hoping to
make that area acceptable to people
who use it by placing sidewalks where
they need to be for the residents' use.”

Although the total plan will involve
the entire patio, White explained that
next week’s first phase of construction
will involve approximately 15 30-in.
wide benches, each weighing an
average of 2,600 pounds, to be built
and then placed around and inserted
into the west end of the patio.

Unfortunately for some dorm
residents, White added, the
jackhammers will start as early as 7
a.m. and the construction “will make a
pretty good mess” which may cause
some traffic problems.

Grant will

The largest grant in the history of
UTM, a United States Department of
Education Title III grant in excess of
$1 million, was announced recently by
UTM officials. *•

Dr. Douglas Blom, UTM director of
institutional research and Title III
coordinator, said the five-year
institutional development grant will
provide UTM approximately $1.5
million in new funds.

“The exact amount of the grant is
dependent upon performance and
actual funds requirements that are
developed during the grant period,”

help accredit UTM programs

Blom explained. More than $187,000
has been awarded to UTM for the
1982-83 academic year.

The grant includes funding for
upgrading campus computer
facilities: faculty development: special
academic programs; program
accreditation: and student counseling.

“This U.S. Department of Education
grant will facilitate the accreditation
process in our business administration
and communications programs." Blom
said. “When ACEJMC accreditation is
granted for the communications
program and AACSB accreditation is

awarded the business administration
program, UTM’s academic programs
will be 100 percent accredited."
Presently no senior institution in
Tennessee is 100 percent accredited.

Blom said additional funding for
UTM’s computer facilities will allow
the university to expand and
modernize the computer capabilities
of the campus to meet student, faculty
and administrative needs. Additional
resources will be allocated to make
computer assisted instruction
available to departments where this is
consistent with the department's

development plans.

“Funds provided by the grant will be
used to provide faculty development
in the areas of academic redirection
and renewal.” Blom said. “This
activity makes it possible to support
faculty initiatives toward further
education that would lead to
professional competence in a new area
or discipline.”

The status quo of alcohol regulations

By PAULA BLANKENSHIP
Opinions Editor

According to Chief of Police Wayne
E. Garner, Martin is a “one-horse
town,” with not a lot of excitement:
however, since she has been “wet” for
the last 35 years, there should be
enough action to please everyone.

Contrary to what one might think
upon avisittotheMartinof today, with
her beer-to-go food marts, tap rooms
and billiard halls and discotheques,
the selling, serving and consumption
of alcohol has not always been part of
the picture.

Up until 1941 Martin wasdry; that t

is, no alcoholic beverage was allowed
within the corporate city limits. Even
then, however, the issue did not reach a
standstill. By 1945 she was dry again,
but Martin has remained wet since
1947.

“Wet” is the term used to refer to an
area in which alcoholic beverages are
allowed, and. in Martin, “alcoholic
beverage" means beer containing an
alcoholic content of 5 percent by
weight, or less.

It is the written duty of the Alcoholic
Beverage Commission, established
Nov. 26, 1974, to regulate the sale of
beer or other beverages of like
alcoholic content within the Martin
city limits.

The Alcoholic Beverage Commis¬
sion, also referred to as the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board (ABC Board),
is composed of seven members: the
mayor, two aldermen of the City Board
and four residents of Martin who have
been citizens for at least one full year.
The chief of police serves as advisor to
the Board.

The ABC Board handles all matters
involving alcoholic beverages and the
places where such beverages are sold.
It issues permits which authorize the
sale of alcoholic beverages, hears
complaints and suspends or revokes

such permits if the need be. and fixes
penalties for any violation of its
provisions.

Theprocessforobtainingapermitis
a lengthy one, for there are many
requirements to be met.

“An individual or group must first
make an application to the ABC Board
for a permit,” said Police Chief
Garner, who serves in an ex officio
capacity to the Board. “The Board
reviews the applicant's case and
decides if all regulations will be
followed."

The requirements for obtaining a
permit are many: the establishment in
which alcohol will be served must be
no less than 500 feet from schools,
churches and other public buildings:
the applicant will not allow gambling

or gambling devices on his premises,
will keep and maintain his premises in
a clean and sanitary condition and will
not sell or distribute any alcoholic
beverages between the hours of 12
midnight and 6 a.m., daily, or at any
time on Sunday.

The cost of a permit, obtained from

the city recorder, is $100, and the cost
of a violation of the Board’s regulations
ranges from $ 1 to $50, or by suspension
or revocation of the permit.

But are the violations numerous in
Martin?

Garner keeps a watchful eye on the
goings-on of local establishments to
ensure that all goes as prescribed by
law.

“They must stop selling alcohol at 12
midnight," he explained. “After 12:15

a.m. all beer must be cleared off and
put away."

Furthermore, Garner said that the
police department makes spot-checks
frequently, checking I.D.’s and looking
for anything illegal.

“We always reprimand the places
for violations," he said, “but you have to
use judgment in cases involving beer
establishments."

The special considerations involve

the legal drinking age. State law says
that one is an adult if he is 18 years of
age: however, he must be 19 to possess
and or consume alcohol.

‘This presents a major problem for
law enforcement and for people who
own the places as well," Garner said.
“Back when the legal drinking age was
21 it was easy on everyone, but even

when it was 18 it was easier than it is
now.

“1 wish they’d hit a happy medium-
pick one age at which one becomes an
adult, is able to drink, and so forth. It's
getting harder to enforce things,
because about the time you get used to
the system, they change everything,”
he added with a chuckle.

Another problem Garner must face
is the possession of illegal liquor and
the selling of that liquor without a
license.

State law says that as an adult, one is
entitled to have a gallon of liquor in his
possession, but not Kentucky liquor.

Garner calculated that an $80.25
fine would result in the case of
possession of illegal (untaxed) liquor,
but selling without a I icense would be a

stiffer charge-up to $500 bond and 11
months and 29 days in jail.

Actually, he admitted that he is not
overly worried about the student who
goes to Fulton every now and then for a
bottle of whiskey, but bootleggers are
still a small problem.

“Every once in a while we will raid a
bootlegger, but we don't confiscate
that much," he explained. “There are
no kids buying bootleg whiskey, and
that's what were worried about.”

But what if one wants to drink an
alcoholic beverage other than beer
without risking the long haul from
Fulton? In that case, there is always
the private club.

Garner said that the only difference
between a private and a public
establishment, other than the fact that
the former can sell all types of alcohol,
is the fact that a private club is
established by the state.

“Private organizations, like The
Pub, are controlled by the State
Alcoholic Beverage Commission and
possess a state charter," he explained.
“However, they must meet the
majority of requirements specified by
the city ordinance."

Garner said he has had no major
problems from any of the
establishments, and the only
complaints received in regard to them
is the noise: otherwise, things are
running smoothly.

“Perhaps most important of all, I
haven’t had any problems with
students and the alcohol situation," he
commented. “We've been very
fortunate in that we have been able to
work together to reason out any
problems that have arisen."

However, in case the fun gets out of
hand, Garner will be around to keep
things under control.

“All I can do is keep everyone in
line,” he explained. “Not that we
condone some bahaviors, but we were
all young once-you have to be
reasonable in these things!"

tests related to alcohol use. Turn to page two for

UTM. Band Dealt

Slap in the Face

The UTM Pacer Marching Band has definitely earned a niche in the history of
this institution-not quite intentionally this lime, however. For those who attended
the UTM—Murray State football game last Saturday night, and who cheered our
football team to its wonderful 19-7 victory over MSU. was it not obvious that
something was missing?

Of course-the approximately 120 members of the UTM Band were not present at
the game and therefore could not perform their usual high-caliber halftime show

As a matter of fact, the UTM Band was denied this performance by the Athletic
Promotions Office so that two Kentucky high school bands could perform instead.
The UTM Band did not even know about the schedule change until Sept. 30. one
week before the game.

Yes, it is obvious that, regardless of whose fault it was at Murray State, the UTM
Band and UTM itself were gravely insulted by this incident And the huge crowd of
UTM fans present at the game felt it. Many of these fans refused to cheer for either
the Murray State Band or the two high school bands, because it simply was not fair
that our band could not be there to give a performance as fine as the UTM football
team's performance was.

UTM has good reason to be extremely proud of its band-that vocal bunch of
people who always seem to add that extra touch of pep to any football game. Without
the band's presence at football games, there is an emptiness that even wildly
cheering fans cannot possibly cover up.

Fine though it was, UTM's victory over Murray simply was not complete without
the band to add the finishing touches. But at least one good thing came out of the
whole situation because now. band members, you know the real story--UTM is
proud of you!!

rite-lip Tor Homecoming!

S§R Dateline

How has your week been thus far?
Fine, 1 hope, because things are
cranking up again. Why? Because
Homecoming is right around the
corner.

Advance tickets went on sale

A majority of us have done or
received something in common during
the past few days. Some saw or heard
the Pacers defeat Murray State at the
same identical score they beat us last
year (10-7). Many of us witnessed the
witty Cheech and Chong fire one up in
“Up in Smoke” and many of us
received our first work-study check
yesterday

Coming down the stretch, tonight
Phi Chi Theta will be sponsoring a

“Sorority Feud" in the University
Center Ballroom around 7 p.m. Our
Pacers are on the road again trying to

This Sunday won’t only kick off a
well-liked movie but it's also the
beginning of Homecoming week.
There are several activities planned
for students, former students, alumni,
faculty, parents and friends. The
University's theme for this year is
“CELEBRATE THAT PACER

My thought for the week: There’s
always room for improvement, you
know—it’s the biggest room in the
house.

THUMBS

To the football team for putting
Murray in its place-how 'bout them
Pacers!

To Panhellenic Council for
supporting the Infant Stimulation
Program by contributing the proceeds
from their charity fashion show.

To those students who return others’
lost valuables when found.

For the copying machine in the U.C.
lobby.

To the campus phone system-there's
never an outside line available when
needed.

To UTM students who make the
news and then refuse to talk about it

To Brad Hurley and Bob Carroll for
bad sportsmanship on the golf course.
Not everyone can be a professional!

To those students who leave their
dirtied trays on the tables in the
cafeteria-the food services staff has
enough to do without playing maid to a
bunch of spoiled kids.

To the Editor:

This is just a short note directed to
your readers who are constant
complainers that there is nothing to do
at UTM on the weekends. This

weekend they blew the chance for
bigger and better things to come by
passing up an opportunity to take a
road trip to Murray. Ky., to see a

fantastic football game, to show school
spirit and to have a lot of fun at a good
price.

SGA sponsored a pepbus to Murray
and disappointedly, the bus left the
UTM Student Center only half-filled.
The faculty of this institution showed
more enthusiasm for the trip than did
the students, by taking up the majority
of the bus seats.

All who went had a fantastic time.
Now the chance of getting another pep

pretty slim. Apathy has struck again.
This time the complainers are left with
nothing to complain about. This

Viewpoint

jR Veminder
of the Vast

By Dan hfwmnersley

This summer, while some of us were
either attending the summer school
sessions or on vacation, we received the
tragic news that two UTM students
had died. One, by the other's hand, and
the man by his own. They were John A.
Sircy and Leslie Dukes. Both were in
their junior years. The exact causes of
the tragedy are unknown to me, so I
will not speak ill of the dead.

I did not know Mr. Sircy, but I did
know Ms. Dukes. Along with Nancy
Churchill, Sylvia Guerra. Kent Moran
and several others too numerous to
mention, we spent a year together in
Professor Goetz Seifert's first year
German class. The past cannot be
reversed, and memories fade all too
quickly. Most of us remember her for
her witticisms, smile, cheerfulness
and her determination to succeed in
class.

Though we all have memorable
impressions of her, Leslie has left us
one token of herself. Her last oral exam
tape was found by Prof. Seifert two
weeks ago. It is priceless without a
doubt. Leslie, from those of us at the
German department whom you
touched. Auf wiedersehen, geht mil
Gott.

’©ear Paula’

By Vaula Blankenship

Dear Paula,

Today, I went into the cafeteria to
eat lunch and found myself drawn to
the “special” hot food line because of
my desire to save money. I can’t say
the meat item featured was what I
actually preferred, but somehow the
“special deal” and my conservative,
prudent nature overcame my
inclination to look elsewhere for lunch.
I mean, it wasn't that bad.

Having made this decision. I chose
two vegetables and a drink, like the
“special" said, only to find at the cash
register that I was charged the
"regular" prices because I got fruit
juice instead of tea or pop. Only 30-cent
drinks were acceptable. I was told.

Later, looking at my receipt, I
realized that I would have saved only
10 cents even if I had been charged for
he “special” that had tea or pop.

Paula, what's the deal? Are
“specials" always just a mere 104 or
maybe 204 reduction to attract
students to what the cafeteria would
like them to eat and drink? I mean,
what's 104 compared to the $2- or $3-a-
meal price?

Signed,

Looking for a REAL deal

Dear Looking,

A1 Hammond, director of food
services, said that there is a 5 to 10
percent savings when you choose the
special rather than ordering what you
please. Savings vary, but the "special”
runs approximately $2.20 over the
course of a week-from as low as $1.86
to as high as $2.45.

Hammond explained that since the

initiation of the “special” hot meal
deal, a number of problems have been
solved.

“By picking the special, students
help keep the line moving,” he said.
"We limit the choice to one entree-the
most popular for that day-so that a
student who wants the special will not
hold up the line while trying to decide
on a meat.”

As for the fruit juices, Hammond
acknowledged that it seems unfair
that you cannot get juice with the
special, but fruit juice costs four times
as much as coffee, tea or coke.

So, dear looking, although itdoesnot
appear to be as great a savings as one
would think, the “special” meal deal is
a bonus-the long-line problem is kept
in check, and the students save a little
bit of money a day. And, as you know, it
all adds up....

The program offers a real academic
challenge to your academically
superior intellect while at the same
time it offers economic support for
students at colleges and universities
across the country.

Five different disciplines of
knowledge are included in the
"Challenge": math, music, chemistry,
literature and computer sciences. The
scholarships and grants will be
awarded to each of the five deciphered
riddles in these areas.

Sound provocative? Read on...In
addition to these five prises, each
winner will also win a gold Pentastar
medal designed especially for the
“Challenge" and one year’s use of a
new Chrysler Turismo or Dodge
Charger. One hundred second place
winners (twenty in each discipline)
will be awarded a silver Pentastar
medal.

The story behind the “Pentastar
Challenge” follows two young people
who find a star that has fallen to earth
and they try to help return the ill-fated
star to its rightful place in the
universe-like it’s cosmic, man!

One of us makes up your day,

And frightens darkness far away,

But when darkness fades to gray.
Millions of us come to play.

Catch this challenge! You can find it
at your very own bookstore for just
$4.98. Go for it! You may unravel oneof
the greatest mysteries of this decade!

Through the dialogue with the star
and advice from “grown-ups" on ways
to accomplish the return of the star to
the heavens, many intellectual and
philosophical questions are raised and
explored.

Chrysler Corporation commissioned
John Magel to create the “Challenge”,

This Pentastar Challenge calendar
will be sold for only $4.98 at the
University Center Bookstore through
an exclusive arrangement with the
National Association of College Stores.

But the “Pentastar Challenge” is not
a sweepstakes or drawing or gimmick.
The “Challenge" is an intellectual one.
It is a chance for students to win
scholarships and grants.

So, why not give it a go? To begin
your journey into the enigmatic
territory of John Magel, here are the
opening verses:

Do you remember that much-
publicized and intriguing treasure

loo long ago and involved a golden

rabbit’s weight in gold was worth
several thousand British pounds?
Well...if you do, and even if you don’t, I
have an absolutely spell-binding and
highly innovative conundrum to try
upon you called “the 1983 Pentastar

unique and unusual programs ever
launched by a major American

This “challenge” has been created by
the Chrysler Corporation. Chrysler
wants to send you on one of the greatest
individual quests ever conceived. This
is not "Advanced Dungeons and

challenge worth awards of more than
$10,000 in scholarships, grants and
other prizes offered to the winner.

Here’s what’s cookin’ Doug’s treat ^

“This recipe is inexpensive to make-
especially considering how many
servings it makes. This is good as a
leftover and tastes better re-heated,"
said Doug, and added, “Four people
can chip in for no more than $2-$3 per
person and have a gourmet meal.”

“Note that bell peppers are good
with this recipe. Also a very crisp red
wine-not a syrupy sweet wine-and a
salad are excellent with this recipe.”

SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

1 lb. Hickory Smoked sausage
1 5 oz. bag egg noodles
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can (small size) Pet milk
1 small red onion (chopped)

1 cup buttered bread crumbs

Hello, food enthusiasts! Once again a
fantastic recipe has come to life and
has leaped into the hearts (and
stomachs) of this poor starving
newspaper staff!

Congratulations and many thanks to
Doug Segraves for his contribution of a
gracious goody that really allows you
to use your noodles-hundreds, even
thousands of noodles!

This recipe is called Sausage
Casserole and is as scrumptious to
whip up as it is to read about!
According to Doug, this recipe came
from his grandmother, so you know it
must be good.

Directions: Brown sausage and
onion in skillet (drain). Place noodles
in buttered, salted water in saucepan.
Boil until tender. (Editorial comment:
eating lots of noodles tends to make
your fingers and toes flexible.)

Combine sausage and onion and
noodles with other ingredients in a
large casserole dish. Top with bread
crumbs. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30
minutes or until bread crumbs are
golden brown. Serves: 6-8.

Bon appetit! Keep sending those
recipes in to the Pacer Office,

business!

Brother-Sister weekend set

By ANTHONY CULVER
Associate News Editor

Brothers and sisters of UTM
students are invited to participate in
‘something special" Nov. 6 and 7,

These are the dates of UTM's first
Brother-Sister Weekend.

Jackie Puckett UTM admissions
counselor, said that the Admissions
Office was sponsoring the event so that
high school students in grades 9-12
could “get a feeling of what college life
is all about."

“This will be an excellent
opportunity for high school students to
see how their older brothers and
sisters live at college,” said Puckett

The weekend begins at 9 a.m. Nov. 6
in the University Center. At 10 a.m
the visiting students will be greeted by
members of UTM's faculty, staff and

student body. Welcoming the students
will be Pacer Pete, SGA representa¬
tives. Miss UTM, Miss BSA. Dr.
Simmons. UTM’s cheerleaders. Dr.
Watkins and other UTM officials.

“We want this session to be just as
fun as the rest of the day; we don’t want
it to be like any other opening session."
said Puckett.

After the opening session the
students will be able to browse
through the displays that will beset up
for Organization Day and ask
questions about the clubs and
associations.

‘This will be a good time for
fraternities, sororities, etc. to recruit,"
said Puckett

From 11 am. until 3 p.m. the
visiting students can visit with their
brothers' and sisters’ friends, arrange
to go on a formal campus tour, take

advantage of a special campus
recreation pass to use the recreation
facilities, or do anything that they
want to do.

At 3 p.m. there will be a concert
on the University Center Patio with a
cookout following the concert.

“There may be a minimal charge for
the cookout, but we have designed the
entire weekend so that it will coat very
little," said Puckett.

Participating studenU will be
admitted free as special guests to the
Nov. 6 Pacer vs. Jacksonville State
University football game at 7:30 p.m.

“After the game we will have either
a disco or a film festival or maybe ev en
both,” said Puckett.

Overnight sleeping arrangements
can be made through the admissions
office, according to Puckett.

“We are going to ask service

organizations like PEP. Alpha Phi
Omega and Gamma Sigma Sigma to
help us find places for people to sleep
who cannot sleep with either their
brothers' or sisters’ friends." said
Puckett.

Sunday morning there will be an
optional devotional service in the
University Center.

Puckett said that notices will be
placed in students' mailboxes with a
reservation form attached during mid-
October. The deadline for registration
is Oct 29.

“I am very enthusiastic about the
weekend." said Dr. Phillip Watkins,
vice chancellor for student affairs.
"Other universities have a Parents'
day or some other tradition that
involves the students’ families, and I
would love to see this Brother-Sister
weekend become a tradition at UTM."

UTM frat faces new trouble with city

By TOMI MCCUTCHEN
Copy Editor

Problems between the city of
Martin and UTM fraternities may
not be completely over, especially
since one UTM fraternity
experienced some trouble during
its preference Oct. 8.

According to David Bailey,
president of Kappa Alpha Order,
the Martin city police stopped by
the KA house three times the night
of Oct. 8, stating that the police
department had received
complaints from area residents
about noise at the KA house.

“The first time the police came
by was to tell us that our
preference party had gotten too
noisy,” stated Bailey, who was out
of town during the party. "Then
the police came back a second time
and warned us, but we’re not really
sure what for because we had

turned down the music and were
trying to keep everyone here pretty
quiet.”

Bailey added that the KA
fraternity knew that the reason for
the first complaint was that they
had done a cheer inside the house.
However, Bailey said that the
cheers had been stopped and the
music was cut low.

"The third time the police came
by they took our vice president,
Jeff Sgrizell, downtown and wrote
him a citation," Bailey said.

Although Bailey does not
presently know of any legal
recourse the fraternity can take, he
said that they were contacting
their lawyer in Memphis.

“When we first moved into this
house, we tried to work with our
neighbors by asking them to call us
personally if we got too noisy,”
stated Bailey. “But it just seems
like recently the situation has
gotten much worse."

According to Sigma Alpha
Epsilon president Will Newsom,
the police stopped by the SAE
house once during rush week and
told the fraternity to keep the noise
down and to get the cars off the
streets.

“Other than that one warning,

UTM students jam out with MTV.

MTV: It’s video radio

By ALEXANDER BLEDSOE
Entertainment Editor

Imagine this. You're sitting at home,
on your favorite couch, a cold beer in
one hand. You don't have any tests or
homework, and finals are nearly half a
quarter away. You turn on the TV.
You are greeted by your favorite
musical group, performing your
favorite song. Except that the song is
not squawking from a tiny TV
speaker. It's blaring from your seven-
foot-tall Morantzes in the corner.

Typical college fantasy? No more.
Not since the advent of MTV, Music
Television.

MTV takes the Video Jukebox ideas
quantum leap forward. Instead of
merely inserting the videos between
other shows, MTV features them
continuously, 24 hours a day. Plus
there are special concerts, an
occasional movie (such as Robot
Monater in 8-D for Halloween), and
talks with musical celebrities. It is,
literally, video radio.

MTV is included in a package with
the Cinemax movie service and the
Cable News Network. And it has made
a big splash in the rapidly expanding
cable-TV market It appeals to an age
group ranging from small children to
adults in their thirties and forties (and
who knows, maybe older). It seems

that everyone wants to see their
favorite music performed.

What does a typical video
presentation consist of? Well, in case
you’ve never caught Video Jukebox or
anything of the like, it goes something
like this. A group or performer sets up
a stage and lip-synchs his way through
the song: the stage can either be set up
to provide a literal translation of the
song’s lyrics (such as the one for Joan
Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll") or it can
be something that seems to have no
relation to the song at all (Fleetwood
Mac’ “Hold Me”). Occasionally, a
group will simply record themselves in
concert, with varying results (The
GoGo's “We Got the Beat" and
Quarterflash's “Find Another Fool.”

All this madness is presided over by
what are called V-J’s, video deejays
apparently chosen for their
nonoffensive style. Maybe in the future
MTV will replace some of these with
some really fun personalities.

MTV is now available in the UTM
dorms, through regular cable hook¬
ups. A special unit is required to hear
it on your stereo, so be sure to ask for it.

MTV also has one interesting side
effect-it makes you unaware of the
passage of time. You can sit and watch
for hours. It’s a lot like a video
Qualude.

Last week's fraternity rush was
capped off by the acceptance of over
150 bids. The parties which began last
Monday night climaxed Friday with
preference parties.

Alpha Tau Omega gained 54 new
pledges as of Tuesday night, keeping
them as the largest fraternity on the
UTM campus.

24 rushees became Sigma Alpha
Epsilon pledges. Mark Brewer, pledge
trainer for SAE, explained that a few
more will accept bids before the
Friday deadline.

Kappa Alpha received 16 pledges
and the Phi Siga. the oldest campus

fraternity, received 18.

Pi Kappa Alpha gained 37 new j
pledges and UTM’s newest fraternity, [
Sigma Pi received 10 pledges. This!
brings Sigma Pi's membership up to|
30 members.

Alpha Gamma Rho. which can only I
draw its members from agriculture}
majors, got 14 pledges.

Billy Squier’s got the big beat

When the name Billy o^uier is
mentioned, one of the first thoughts to
enter any music lover’s head is “great
beats." Billy Squier has always been
widely known for hisinfectuous. heavy
beats. He is often categorized with the
super-groups Queen and Led Zeppelin
as far as musical style is concerned

Billy Squier made his first big mark
on the music world with his early 1981
hit “The Stroke." He followed that song
up with “In The Dark." In both
instances. Squier showed a style of
pure rock (heavy beats included) that
made “Don’t Say No” one of last year's
most successful albums.

“Emotions in Motion," Billy’s latest
album, begins where “Don’t Say No"
left off—with two great songs. But
after the first two songs are over, the
majority of the album seems to be Billy
Squier’s attempt at becoming a “rock
impressionist.” He seems to have
experienced a temporary case of
schizophrenia, in which non of his
personalities is Billy Squier.

The next several paragraphs give a
brief impression of each song on
“Emotions in Motion" in order from
the best to the worst.

“Everybody Wants You" is one of
those songs that has “hit” written all
over it. It's fast, energetic, with gtx-j
vocals and has a beat that leaves you

humming it for hours. Could possibly
be a big one.

“Emotions in Motion" is also a song
with hit potential. At present, it is
battling with "Everybody Wants You”
to decide which one will be the major
single. This song is one of those Queen
influenced tunes. (One can’t help but
think Billy Squier was listening to
“Body Language” and "Dragon
Attack" at the time he wrote it.)

"Listen to the Heartbeat" has a
rough-edged sound that grabs you
before you know it The vocals give it
an added dimension by being slightly
rushed to fit the music. A song that
grows on you.

“Learn How to Live" is a good
transitional song, but the beginning of
the album's downward trend

UmM® M&

By BART JONES
Student Writer

“It Keeps You Rockin” has a
hesitating Zeppelinesque beat which is
usually an effective play, but in this
case Billy forgot to add the spice t. the
basic recipe.

“One Good Woman” starts out
almost exactly like Foreigners'
“Waiting For a Girl Like You” but
quickly lets you know it's not. Thesong
sounds lik3 it might have a lot of
possibilities. But just as it builds up to
a chorus that you think will be a real
stopper, it dies.

"Keep Me Satisfied" is a song for
Billy to pretend he is a southern rocker

or something. It is strong "rockabilly"
patterned after Bob Seger (vocals
included). Seger fans will probably
love it, but if it was up to me. I'd rather
listen to the original.

"She’s a Runner" has vocals that
remind you of Steve Perry from
Journey and has music that is the kind
you hear at parties that you think will
never end.

“Catch 22" is a combination of the
worst of the Marshall Tucker Band
and Rod Stewart.

“In Your Eyes” is a rock ballad
where Billy strains his voice just a bit
too much and comes out sounding like
Rod Stewart with laryngitis (pretty
harsh, huh?).

There are really no terrible songs on
“Emotions in Motion:" in fact, most of
them are average rock songs. The
major shortcoming of the album is the
low number of songs with that little
something extra that gets your
attention and causes you to remember
it. Billy Squier is capable of much
better as was evident from “Don’t Say
No." So for this report card, I’ll give
“Emotions in Motion" by Billy Squier a
B-.

Taps’: glitzy dishonesty

Youth in rebellion against the
established order has always been
highly charged dramatic territory for
films. Efforts like The Wild One.
Wild In the Streets. Easy Rider and
The Warriors have mined this vein
for every conceivable variation. And,
at first glance, Taps seems to fit into
this mold as well. But in reality, it’s
almost the exact opposite.

Taps tells the story of the cadets at
Bunker Hill Military Academy, who
decide to take over and occupy their
school after the board of directors
decides to close it The student
commander, played by Timothy
Hutton, tries to hold his fledgling
troops together against the combined
assault of the National Guard and
common sense.

Hutton, an Oscar-winner (and
deservedly so) for Ordinary People,
brings an inner fire to the cliche-
ridden role. When he faces off against
Ronnie Cox, as the National Guard
commander, there’s electricity in the
air that even overcomes the
sophomoric dialogue. He's the movie’s
saving grace, for without such a

talented star the picture would have
been unendurable.

George C. Scott reprises Patton as
the stiff-backed soldier in charge of the
school, and gets co-star billing even if
he is done away with in the first twenty
minutes. And some talented young
actors breathe a little life into their
roles as the students.

But the story’s basic premise is what
bothers me. Instead of the classic
revolt against authority, with the
students attempting to create a new
and better order-and a military
academy would be the perfect setting
for this sort of thing-they are fighting
to retain the old ways established
nearly two hundred years ago.

This, in my book, qualifii
dishonest storytelling (and movies are
storytelling, remember). The setting
isn’t honest, the theme isn’t honest, the
characters aren’t honest and even the
finale isn’t honest. And if you don’t
have an honest story, then you can’t
have an honest movie.

This, of course, overlooks the surface
implausibilities of the film;
such as an eight-year-old boy getting
mowed down by an M-16. And does

The Mcvie Scene

By ALEXANDER BLEDSOE

anyone out there really believe that the
National Guard would attack a bunch
of kids, even kids that are armed, with
full scale military equipment like
tanks and bazookas? I hope not.

Apparently, though, a lot of people
out there didn’t have this problem with

honesty, because Taps made quite a
bit of money. And it is a well-
structured film, done with some style
and tension. But glittery packaging
can’t hide a crummy product. And if
you look closely at Taps, at what lies in
the very heart of the film, then I think
you’ll find the dishonesty I'm talking
about.

The Pacer, Martin. Tennessee. October 14. 19X2

Pacers win despite
some key injuries

By UZ COBLE
Sport* Editor

UTM's closest game travel-wise. This
means larger crowd support for both

teams.

Murray State has proposed that
UTM play two games at Murray for
every game that MSU plays here,
according to MSU Athletic Director
Johnny Reagan. MSU would give
UTM a $10,000 compensation for the
extra year that we would play there.
Reagan also stated that the $10,000
amount is negotiable

MSU is Division I-AA while UTM is
Division II, which means that Murray
State puts more money into athletics.
But because of their NCAA and
conference affiliation. MSU often has
a hard time getting home games,
which is their reason for the 2-1 years
proposal according to MSU's Reagan

UTM Athletic Director Ray Mears
said that Murray's only proposition
was that UTM would have to play at
Murray State every year in order to
continue the series, “They haveoffered
us $10,000 to
play us every year at Murray, while

they have offered Carson Newman, a
Division HI school. $15,000 for the
same proposal."

MSU’s Reagan said. “The $15,000
proposal to Carson Newman was two
years ago and has nothing to do with
the situation now."

Coach Mears also discussed the fans'
involvement in the situation. “I’m very
disappointed. The MSU-UTM game is
both schools' best money game every
year. It’s not fair to the fans as well as
the schools themselves."

During halftime of the game some
fans expressed their opinion. “I don't
like it (the controversy). It is a good
series and rivalry." said one UTM fan.
Another stated. “If we were to play
them again, it should only be on a
home-and-home basis."

“Both schools need the revenue that
a continuation of the series would
bring. I think that there will be a
compromise,’’ said one cheering
spectator.

Murray State is in the process of
changing their administration and

university officials. Some of the
problems could be due to the instabilty
of MSU at this point

“I believe Inal we will again play
Murray State if the new president has
control over the Athletic Department
I do hope that we can get something
worked out," said UTM Chancellor
Charles Smith.

"A lot will be determined by our new
administration." said Athletic
Director Reagan. “We have two years
to get things in agreement."

The two years discussed by Reagan
is because both schools
already have their schedules worked
out for the next two seasons.

So now we just have to sit and wait
for things to run their course. Even
though the continuation of the series is
“up in the air." at least the Pacers went
Out with a bang. As the coaches
have said, the supportive crowd,
outstanding sportsmanship of the
UTM players, and the great victory
will be long remembered by UTM

The 10-7 victory of the UTM Pacers
over the Murray State Racers last
Saturday night may represent the last
occasion that a UTM team will play
Murray State in football.

UTM. now 4-1, is off to its best start
since 1967. The whole team worked
together for the win. UTM now leads
the GSC is passing defense. The Pacers
opened up the scoring early in the
second quarter with a 16-yard pass
from quarterback Chris Ford to
receiver Tony Champion. This
touchdown represented the first time
this season that UTM scored first in a
ball game.

Murray State's only score came late
in the first half, and the Pacers and
Racers went into the locker room at the
half with a 7-7 tie.

^Valley Conference teams, but we need
a conference win soon. It was the Gulf
By FRED PICKARD South Conference, not the OVC, that
picked us to finish sixth or seventh in
the league.

UTM and North Alabama each have
lost one game this year. Both losses
came to Livingston. North Alabama
lost to Livingston. 14-3. and we got
beat 27-14. I feel like they did a lot
better job against Livingston than we
did. especially defensively. Once
again, we are going to have to play
really hard. It might sound facetious,
but we are going to have to play really
hard just to stay with them.

David Carter, who is recovering
from a slightly separated shoulder and
a sprained ankle, will be available for
UNA. He could have played against
Murray State, but we felt like Chris
Ford was doing fine.

I wanted to save the best for last
That’s the fan support we had at
Murray and that we have had all
season. I don't care who you are. if you
can't get ready to play for people like
those of you that came to Murray State,
something is wrong with you. Go
anywhere, and you won’t find a more
vocal visiting crowd than the one we
had at Murray State. It was
unbelievable. People were hollering
when we cameout for warm-ups. when
we went back into the locker room
before the game, and even after the
game was over. It was an unbelievable
boost!

After the game, when the fans kept
cheering, our players came back onto
the field. I’m sure that had to be the
greatest experience of their lives. And
let me tell you. if anyone deserves that
type of support, it's this team.

Thanks again for your continuing
support.

Head Football Coach

What can I say? We beat Murray
State 10-7.

Once again, our young men played a
team that was more talented, and won.
You can say it's the coaching, but I
guarantee you that coaches are only as
good as the players they have. Our
young

are giving more of
themselves than at any other time
since I've been at UTM. They have
come closer to giving everything they
have than any other team I've been
associated with.

We played without David Carter,
who has started three games and has
more playing time at quarterback
than Chris Ford, the young man who
replaced him. and without Terry

performer at defensive tackle, all but
one series of the game. On top of that,
the young men that were our defensive
front, Mark Anderton, Jed Hodges,
and Mike Maginn, average about 205,
the size of a high school defensive
front-a small high school. What that
tells me is that everybody on this team
has a role and is performing well in it,
enabling us to win as a team.

How we do from here is anybody’s
guess.

With 18 seconds left in the third
quarter. Keith Kasnic kicked a39yard
field goal, which brought the score to
10-7 where it remained the rest of the
game.

“We take each game week by week;
we just go out and play as hard as we
can." said sophomore running back
Stanley Ladd.

“This year we are just playing
football; we're not out for show," said
junior linebacker Alan Welch.

Offensive Player of the Game was
Stanley Ladd from Franklin. Tn. In
the game Ladd rushed 20 times for 110
yards, a college career high for him.
Defensive Player of the Game was
Alan Welch from Humboldt, Tn.
Welch made 11 tackles, five of which
were solos. He also recovered a fumble,
and partially blocked a punt which set
up UTM's touchdown. For his efforts.
Welch was also named Co-Defensive
Player of the Week of the Gulf South
Conference.

“We have great quality kids that
give their best,” Coach Fred Pickard
commented after the game. “We like to
play Murray."

Playing Murray State is where the
controversy takes over. At this point
there are no more games scheduled
between the two schools. There are
major points of disagreement between
UTM and MSU that are standing in
the way of the scheduling process

The drill team, known si The

They are considered by those who

“We have a model of a German town

Fall tennis ends victoriously

UTM's defending Gulf South
Conference championship tennis team
completed its fall schedule Wednesday
with wins over Bellville (III.) College.
8-1, and Southeast Missouri State
University, 6-3. The wins left the
Pacers with a 4-1 fall record.

The victory over Southeast Missouri,
a team which ranked 15th in the nation
in NCAA Division II last year and
returns all its players this year, was
the biggest fall victory for the Pacers.

Chris Brady led the way in that
match as he defeated SEMO's number
one singles player, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, the
same player he lost to twice last year.

Jim Willing, Sid Osment, Steve
Capel, and Jeff Brady won singles
matches and Chris and Jeff Brady
teamed to win at number one doubles.

UTM defeated Bellville earlier in
the day behind singles wins by Wayne
Johnson. Osment, Capel, Jeff Brady
and Bobby Perras. Willing and Jeff
Brady, Osment and Johnson, and
Capel and Perras teamed to win all
three doubles matches.

Chris Brady did not compete in the
Bellville match as he rested a sore
shoulder and Scott Brady missed both
matches with a leg stress fracture.

The Pacers beat David Lipscomb
College, 6-0 (no doubles matches were
played). Middle Tennessee State. 5-4,
and lost to Murray State. 9-0. earlier in
the fall.

UTM's tennis team swept all nine
titles in the Gulf South Conference last
spring to win the school its first GSC
championship in any sport. The Pacers
lost only two players from that team.

“I got letters to play-from a lot of
schools," said Ray. “Coach Newcomb
came down to talk to me about playing
here. I visited UTM and I was
impressed. I made the right decision.”

Ray is the first UTM player in three
seasons to rush for over 100 yards in
one game which he did against Austin
Peay. This is a college career high for
him. It also earned him player of the
game title. In years past, he played
more as a receiver than runningback,
but likes the change in style from last
season to this season. "We moved from
a passing team to one that has a good
nishing-passing balance. I think that have a good future ahead of him.

Registration is over for this quarter
at UTM and as far as enrollment, this
university did fairly well, according to
Dr. Richard O'Bryan, dean of
admissions at UTM.

UTM had the second highest
enrollment and head count this year
that the university has ever had,
explained O'Bryan. He state that this
enrollment is second only to that of last
year containing a head count of about
190 more than this year.

O’Bryan said that the university had
more first-time freshmen than last
year to enroll. He also said that the

graduate enrollment remained stable
contrary to the trend across the state
where graduate enrollment has
declined.

UTM can also boast of the largest
first-time transfer enrollment in the
history of the university, according to
O'Bryan.

Enrollment data is very important.
O'Bryan explained, because it is
required by the state of Tennessee in
order for UTM to receive the
appropriations needed to run the
university.

"All registration is for is mainly to
gather this data required by the state
for funding purposes.” he said.

He explained that the appropria¬
tions are paid on the basis of the FTE
enrollment. This is the full time
equivalency enrollment which will set
the amount of the appropriation for the
entire year.

O’Bryan also explained that
Knoxville and UTM are the last in the
state to enroll students; therefore,
admissions could not yet compare how
UTM rated in enrollment with other
schools across the state.

“We are probably in a position
similar to the fall of 1975during which
there was a recession," O’Bryan said.
“During this period, the urban
institutions and community colleges

increased sigmlicantly while the rural
institutions fared not quite as well," he
said.

O’Bryan explained that the
community colleges and urban
institutions do well during a recession
because it is usually the trend for a
student to stay at home and work to
avoid the cost of living on campus;
therefore, the student usually attends
the institution closest to his/her home.

"I suspect that the public
institutions maintained either the
1981 enrollment or decreased slightly
except for the community colleges and
urban institutions," concluded
O'Bryan.
